 their own roots. 



Among other interesting plants seen 

 here were masses of the brilliant Aza- 

 lea Kasmpferi and Pothergilla major in 

 fine flower. Twenty thousand seedling 

 Chinese rhododendrons were trans- 

 planted and being grown in frames 

 under lath shades. Pans containing 

 tens of thousands of seedling conifera.' 

 were noted, as well as a host of decidu- 

 ous subjects. A long frame contained 

 a large quantity of the new red Cypri- 

 pedium Thibeticum and a yellow spot- 

 ted cypripedium which was collected by 

 E. H. Wilson in China and which suc- 

 cessfully withstood the four months' 

 journey. A number are already in 

 flower. Superintendent Dawson has 

 many other interesting things to show 

 the visitor. 



In the collection of malus or flower- 

 ing crab apples the following were note- 

 worthy: M. Halliana, M. lonensis flore 

 pleno, M. Toringo, M. atrosanguinea, 

 very dark; M. Niedwedzkiana, a fine 

 dark variety; M. floribunda, M. Schei- 

 deckeri, M. spectabilis, M. baccata, M. 

 Arnoldiana, a beautiful pure white sort; 

 M. Sargento, low growing, handsome,

MACK RICHMOND. 



A goo'i many people believe that the 

 good sports are the good workers, and 

 certain it is that whenever one of the 

 bowling contingent has been designated 

 as superintendent of the S. A. F. con- 

 vention trades' display, good work al- 

 ways has been had. Perhaps that is 

 why it has come to be the fashion to 

 pick a sjiort to do the heavy work of 

 the .\ugust exhibition. Mack Rich- 

 mond, who is t(i be superintendent of 

 the trades' display at Baltimore in 

 .\u<j;ust, is one of that town's tireless 

 bowlers, and his scores always are a 

 (•redit. He is with Halliday Bros., and 

 it is said Ik^ worl<s as hard as he jilays. 

 .\lready ]Mr. Richnionij. whose address 

 for convention work' is ISl.". I'nlaski 

 street, has sold a large part of the 

 door space in the great Armory build- 

 ing, where the trade will gather in 

 .\ugust. 



York, Pa. — Edwin Foust, the Foust- 

 town florist, is erecting another green- 

 house.
